The US has spent a significant amount of money and manpower in the past 70 years to convince countries, not just Canada, to be dependent on them. The US has reaped the benefits of this, such as having military bases abroad, using the US Dol

So therefore that allows the President to go back on a trade agreement he personally signed in his last term? I'm not going to disagree Canada should do more about reducing Fentanyl, nor that Canada can't control it with better po

What modern jetliners are you referring to? the 787 has a sweep back of 32 degrees and a 707 had a sweep back of 35 degrees so not really that much difference. The 737 has a sweep back of 25 degrees and it first flew in the 1960s.

This is not true, winter tires are only mandated on some highways. Winter tires are not required by law throughout the entire lower mainland which is where most of the BC population is.

B-52s aren't subject to the same stress as fighter aircraft are, that's why they are able to keep flying for so long (among other reasons).

> That's simply not true. If it were, then carriers would never have bothered with the administrative overhead of locking phones in the first place. People do respond differently to economic incentives like whether their phone will

That's not true, it may have been true at one point in time like 20 years ago. Even Bell Canada says you can use your Canadian phone in most countries in the world: https://support.bell.ca/mobility/network_coverage

Why would a carrier give someone a phone if they have bad credit? It's not like they are mandated by law to provide everyone the latest iPhone regardless of credit score. I worked in customer support for Rogers(A Canadian phone carrier

Yeah as a fellow Canadian, I agree. When the unlocking policy was first discussed here, people had the same fears and that people would just run off with the phones. It turns out that people generally don't like being banned from a car

Well there are a number of reasons, the primary reason being is that there is no need for them as any place that supports commercial air transportation has an airport nowadays. So why make a separate model that can't fly inland? Second

by aceofspades19 2y ago
People made the same argument in Canada but they changed the rules so you either get an unlocked phone or they have to unlock it upon request. Yet there has not been widespread issues of this happening. They can still ding your credit &

At least in Canada, you can get an official warning where they fill out the ticket slip but don't fine you. I'm not sure how long its tracked for but it is a real thing. Also I do believe that the car being pulled over is likely l

Loblaws owns a huge variety of grocery stores in Canada and they also have a bank (President's Choice Financial) as well as large real estate holdings. There are a fair amount of places in Canada that only have a Loblaws store in the v

I don't see anything referring to testing in https://stripe.com/en-ca/legal/ssa Other than that you are provided test keys and live keys.

My company has hundreds/thousands of ecommerce clients, of which a huge portion use Stripe and we do real card testing every time we deploy code that could affect payments and its never been an issue.

No, publicly traded companies are beholden to act in the interests of the shareholders which in practicality is fairly vague. All companies are sort of designed to turn a profit or try to as they generally need that to continue existing but

But who gets to decide this? How do you prevent people from making new unapproved technology and using it?

by aceofspades19 3y ago
Yeah but I can also make a webpage saying I have $10 billion dollars, doesn't mean its a true statement. If it was at least a 3rd party that was auditing it, I would put more stake in it.

Where has it been proven that HCQ does work, and for what exactly? What actual studies have proven this?

I'm in Canada and I have never seen a pump or gas station in the last 10+ years that allow you to pay after filling up. I had thought all the stations have changed since incidents like this: https://www.theglobeandmail.com&#

It is still part of the country of Canada. My point was saying Canada uses bags of milk is no different than saying Americans do X when its only Florida or a handful of states.

I have lived in Canada my entire life and I have not bought or used a bag of milk ever or even seen it being sold.

What sort of keywords? Surely there would be a lot of false positives if it was just 1 word being matched with no context.

by aceofspades19 3y ago
Yes of course but I was not describing how things should be, I was describing how they currently are.

by aceofspades19 3y ago
Yeah I agree, its kind of silly that we allow ancient irrelevant and overly broad laws to stay on the books, especially in most societies that ignorance of the law is not an excuse. For example, in Canada, the police can issue a DUI if you
